Be prepared before you depart,
Once again, the Friends of the Pohnpei Public Library would like to remind the general public of the EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) rental service to assist with maritime safety for the community. EPIRBs are designed to provide a satellite link to search and rescue services during an emergency. These devices are vital for safety at sea and helping rescuers locate vessels in distress. Mariners, fishers, and community members are encouraged to make use of this resource.
Epirb Rental only cost $5, that’s a small price to pay for peace of mind and a literal lifeline for everyone on the water. In an emergency, this device is your direct link to help. Don't risk it, grab an epirb before you pull anchor. Your life is worth way more than five bucks. Visit us at the Pohnpei Public Library to pick yours up today or call us at 320-2423.

Your safety matters, please spread the word and help keep our community protected.

Eighth-Grade TSP Students Explore Pohnpei Public Library

 Today, Pohnpei Public Library was pleased to welcome two elementary school groups for an educational visit to the library as part of the TSP (Students Talent Search Program). The visiting students were eighth graders from ESDM Elementary School and Sapwalap Elementary School.

During their visit, students were introduced to the library’s resources, learned about the importance of reading and research, and explored the role libraries play in supporting learning and lifelong education. The visit also provided an opportunity for students to become familiar with library rules, services, and the wide variety of books available to them.

Pohnpei Public Library is always happy to host school visits and support students as they develop a love for reading and knowledge. We thank the teachers and students from ESDM and Sapwalap for visiting and look forward to welcoming them again in the future.
